[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 150386, member: 4781"]Thanks, I minted my Denver Mint Centennial medals (tokens) in brass, silver, gold, and palladium. I did participate in the Colorado "design contest", although it really wasn't a design contest because no artwork sent to the state would ever be forwarded to the US Mint (the US Mint's policy is to never accept any artwork from outside the Mint). But I prepared 7 different designs anyway and I delivered them to the Governor's office. Of the five themes that Colorado sent to the Mint (in narrative form only), one could have been based on my submission of a 10th Mountain Division design. The Mint prepared drawings of the five themes and sent them back to Colorado for review. The public was allowed to vote and comment on the proposals. Of the five, I thought four of them looked nice. Unfortunately, I didn't like the Mint's artwork on the 10th Mountain Division design at all. And judging by the public voting, not many other people liked it either. I recently minted four of the designs I submitted to the Colorado Governor's Office (see below).
